Parasols and Passamenteries.
Straw bonnets are trimmed with vel
vet in dark shades, mingled with the
airiest and Eghtest textiles. The ef-
feet is particularly attractive, after the
heavy garnitures of the tedious winter,
and the style is becoming to all. Scarfs
of silk muslin, tulle, crepe or Swiss
batiste, in Persian patterns, Indian de-
signs, or those purely floral or geomet-
ric, in plaids, stripes and in old tapes
try effects with or without gold, are all
shown. The handkerchiefs of these
fabrics will also prove very popular.
These diaphanous kerchiefs are also
made into breakfast caps, and into
pretty dress capotes, by mounting
them in irregular folds upon a frame
of some becoming shape. Even round
hats with irregular brims, designed for
morning or neglige toilets, are trimmed
with Grape scarf or kerchief, arranged
all around the crown, or only on one
side. Such hat, faced with velvet
and ornamented with a monture of
flowers, half-wreath, or some loops
of velvet ribbon, is very chic and taste
full.
Parasols for summer wear are large,
long-handled, and show ten gold or
silver-pointed ribs. The fabrics of
which they are constructed are of every
sort of material used for dress, show
ing models in lace, plaided and striped
| velvet, colored net in pale green palm
designs on grounds of ecru, ETC., and
| similar patterns. Vertical bands of
satin or plush are arranged on cores
of sheeny satin with stylish effect.
Other parasols in mauresque shape are
made wholly of ecru silk tulle, the
creamy folds and soft puffs banded
down with stripes of Lyons velvet rib
bon, in violet, wine color, dark moss
green, or black, Point d'esprit is
tucked, and then laid over parasols of
tinted satin duchess. Elegant looking
parasols of golden-brown satin, lined
with pale primrose silk, are striped
with dark brown velvet on each gore,
and finished around the edge with a
pleated trill of primrose-colored crepe
lisse, embroidered in silks of wood
colors, shading from faintest Wilton
| yellow to deepest bronze. These para
| soils have willow handles, handsomely
| carved, and inlaid with bits of dark
wood vari-colored. Less novel styles
are shown in perasols of rich black
or white lace of superb pattern, over
| foundations of satin in every conceiv-
| able shade. There are also many mex
pensive sunshades, of which mention
should be made, particularly of those
of pongee, embroidered with daisies
Beaded passementeries, braids and
| galloons, woven, stripped, dotted and
embroidered, continue in high vogue,
and form the trimmings most widely
used this season, They are arranged
in the guise of bretelles, epaulettes, re-
vers, vests and cuffs, and as border
ing on skirts and tunics; and finally,
the richest and most elaborate are
used to define panels and tabliers on
skirts, to simulate underdresses, and
for ornamenting wrappings of all
shapes. Among the novel galloons
first to be mentioned should be those
in Indian and arabesque designs, in re-
lief of velvet and silk cord, and COM
bined with appliqued work or en-
broidery. There are also lace, stylish
open-work galloons, with fine meshes
in net, OF canvas, studded with gem
like drops along the edge, or through
out the width, or trayersed by light
threads of gold, silver or steel, with
tiny pendents of the same. 1t is i'm
possible, however, to enumerate all
that taste and inventive genius have
created in this eminently successful
branch of manufacture. There are al
SO new cream-white silk galloons which
will be highly popular, and straw gall
looms. flexible, and of natural color,
which are designed to trim stuffs of
Light weight and color, not only in
millinery, but also for the decoration
OF canvas goods, in all tones of ecru.-
